The #DumsorMustStop vigil is set to proceed as planned today, Saturday, June 8, according to the organisers.
Participants are expected to assemble at the University of Ghana, Legon, frontage at 2 p.m.
The decision to go ahead with the protest comes after the Ghana Police Service attempted to stop the vigil by filing an injunction application, citing concerns about its proximity to a security installation.
However, the organisers, led by Henry Osei, announced during a press conference on Wednesday, June 5, that all issues with the police had been resolved.
Mr. Osei assured the public that the protest would be peaceful, and the police had promised to provide maximum protection for the event.
The #DumsorMustStop vigil aims to increase pressure on the government to address the country’s power challenges, which have led to intermittent power supply in many parts of Ghana during peak hours.
The organisers attribute the crisis to the government’s alleged failure to pay for the required fuel, as claimed by independent power producers.
